Mavericks!

Disclaimer:I don't own Megaman x.

Bass X didn't really like this Virus guy, all he really just wanted to test out that Megaman X out. Still he had to admit his idea on a would filled with Repliods wasn't a bad idea, if

he could get it to work. " I'll help you out, seeing as I owe you that much. But X is all mine understand?" Bass X had told Virus when asked if he would join his cause. "

Understood, but be warned that he is no pushover. He did manage to defeat my father at least eight times so his power is great if any." Virus said. Bass X laughed and said "

The fool hasn't even seen my powers yet so if anyone should be feared it's me! Is Treble ready yet?" Virus nodded and a growl was heard and a wolf type Reploid with purple

armor walked over to them and sat at the feet of Bass X. " I still cannot see why you put so much trust in this mutt Bass... even if it does give you more power it must be such a

bother to worry about it." Virus said. Bass X took offense to this and replied " Treble is my trusted partner and I don't mind him at all." Virus took no notice of this and said " He

is bound to come running to the rescue and that is when you shall test him." Bass X nodded and as Virus left he said " I really hope that X is as strong as they say or else this

might get dull."

X found it hard to focus on his work with Alia staring and winking at him, not that he minded. " Axel, you feel like coming along while Zero gets fixed?" Axel nodded and the two

went to leave when Palette came over and gave Axel a kiss while telling X " If he gets a single bruise on him X I'll take you apart while you sleep!" Alia didn't seemed to like this

but X and Axel laughed and soon left. However they would soon miss something quite important with Zero.

Zero hated when he had this dream, the only memories of his life before Sigma found him which only consisted of him awaking from a capsule and the shadow of an old man

muttering something to him. Ever since that Bass X guy told him of the man called Dr. Wily the dream came more often and this troubled Zero. " Zero? Are you okay?" Layer's

question brought the red Repliod back to the real world and he said " I'm fine Layer, why do you care anyway?" She held his hand and answered " Because Zero... I love you

and care about you. And if I don't then who else will Zero? " He was taken back by her words but knew they were true, he gently rubbed her hsir and said " Thank you Layer

but you don't have to worry about me so much I'm strong enough to defend myself." She blushed and leaned in closer to kiss him when he also did the same and they both

kissed passionately for a few hours. Zero's mind kept drifting to the words of Bass X and the idea of finding out more about his past... maybe if he talked to X about it. " Zero,

no matter what happens promise me that you won't do anything crazy like go on a soul searching quest to find information on your creator okay?" Layer said. Zero chuckled

and said " was I that predicable Layer? It would have at least taken X a few hours, but I digress, I have to do this if I ever want any answers." She seemed sad but nodded "

Okay , but after you get all fixed up! " She said causing him to smile a bit before taking another nap. " He's really strong but even his heart can't take much more of this... still If

I could help him in anyway I would." Layer thought as she left the room.

" X who's the guy we're going after again?" Axel asked when he and X arrived in a rundown factory of sorts, " His name's flare cheetah he's using this factory to create an army

of Repliods for Virus, he's also pretty powerful so be cautious okay Axel?" X answered. Axel grinned and replied " When have I ever not been cautious X?" X was about to list

the number of times when the two were surrounded by Repliods and began depleting their numbers by half. But there was something a bit odd about these Repliods, the more

that were destroyed the more that seemed to come back. Some of them even attacked each other to gain new weapons and armor and all the while the two hunters kept on

fighting. " This is getting us nowhere X! We have to find a way to give these guys the slip and fast! " Axel yelled as he blasted Repliod after Repliod. X agreed but the Repliods

kept on coming and they weren't giving up. X then changed weapons to the new one he got from Blast Bookworm, the flare counter, and a ring of fire shrouded him and blasted

an opening appeared and the two managed to get away without much more trouble. They found a door and once inside they saw hundreds of the Repliods mining for some

kind of strange white substance. " What is that stuff? And why would Virus want it?" X asked. A voice answered " It is a rare mineral know as Enriched Nector and if used

correctly it can grant a Repliod near god like defense and power. It's a shame that you two aren't going to be able to live long enough to see that." The voice belonged to Flare

cheetah the Maverick and he seemed to have an air of coolness. His head was that of a cheetah's, duh, and his armor was almost not there . save for two slim shoulder blades

that raised over his head and his entire body was pure silver. X aimed his buster at him and said " Such a thing cannot be allowed to fall into evil hands so I suggest that you'd

give up." The Maverick chuckled before unsheathing his purple claws and with lightning speed pounced on Axel and slashed in a fury. X managed to back away but Flare

Cheetah then burst his claws and rushed X before slashing in an X shape. Both hunters were down and the Maverick was gonna finished them when a voice in Axel's head said

" Release me Axel. I can give you the power to fight." He recognized the voice as that of Lumine and he tried to ignore it as best as he could but soon enough his eyes turned

yellow and his hair changed to purple while he gained pure white armor. Within five seconds he then shot an endless barrage of bullets that reduced Flare cheetah to scrap.

Before X could do anything Axel fainted and returned to normal in the blink of an eye and X carried him back home and preyed that was the last time they'd see that.

Upon returning to hunter base X ran into Palette who saw Axel and demanded that X told her what happened, and once he did she proceed in testing Axel to check how he

was. X and Zero had to wait a bit but both of them knew that the answers they'd get wouldn't be good.

A short chapter but still it's getting better, and for those who read this and my Kingdom Hearts fic review man! One little review is all that I ask for .
